About Avinguda Meritxell
Avinguda Meritxell, the main shopping avenue of Andorra la Vella along the old valley road, lined with low-tax shops, department stores and banks, the heart of Andorra's trade.
The avenue follows the old road of the valleys and is named after Our Lady of Meritxell, the patron saint of Andorra. It runs on into Escaldes-Engordany as Avinguda Carlemany, with fashion, perfume, jewellery and electronics.
Andorra is not tax-free: a low sales tax was introduced in 2013, and duty-free allowances when you leave for Spain or France are limited, so check customs rules. Shops usually open into the evening, many also on Sundays.
